Shell Ultra Helix from memory - it's in the owner's manual though.

Howzit John

As far as I can recall my car was filled with Havoline fully synthetic.Dont know if yours would have been the same but seems likely...
I believe Shell Helix is specced.Personally after having hammered my Porsche around race tracks for 5 years without a problem I am going with Mobil 1.

BTW What happened on Sunday?Did you go on the Subaru/Porsche run?Sorry I could not be there

Cheers

I would recommend any decent 5w-40 Fully Synthetic.

The best ones (quality) are ester based ones like:

Silkolene PRO S 5w-40

Motul 300V 5w-40

hi Buddy

showed the scoobies and two porsche turbos that they aren't the quickest things at altitude. My one turbo has been leaking some oil and Neville has organised a replacement. Top gear on supersport will have a test on tuesday 18 Jan at 8 pm supersport(22)
